Getting a Doctor to Take My Conditions Seriously

I will definitely have to do that, I'll try getting my husband and/or mom to come with me. Mom would be best as we both have identical medical history.

funny/sad story: I had an amazing doctor in my preteen-teen years, she 100% took me seriously and treated me like an actual human suffering and in pain. She advocated for me to my insurance when they tried denying my morphine patches, because I struggled with pills at the time (swallowing issues at the time) but then I moved away for a few months and when I came back to her office she was gone, and the replacement doctor cut me off my pain meds "cold turkey" as he felt that I was a "pill seeker" and "too young" to have the health/pain issues that I had. Sorry sir that I was dealt a poor hand with multiple genetic conditions plus injuries that caused me a lifetime of pain and limited mobility. Obviously I searched far and wide for her over the years and once I finally found her, I was unable to schedule an appointment because of my lovely insurance not accepting her despite them initially saying she was in network. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Was this intended to be to me? If so, don't worry. It's just a battle that I have to fight for now. It won't be forever.

I get why you say this, but that's sadly not feasible for everyone to do. I'd totally agree if it was though! I'm currently stuck with a doctor I don't really like due to how he ends up making me feel after most appointments, but it's the only doctor anywhere close who prescribes what I need who is in network for me, so I'm stuck with him for now.

I actually do that already! The research and print outs and everything! ☺️☺️☺️ Glad to see I'm not the only one lol, usually I've just gave up after trying a time or two, but you're 💯 I need to be persistent if I want anything done
